First Day of School!

Today was the first day of school for Alex, so I thought I would share some pictures of her and her friend Riley. She was so excited for school, if she could go everyday she would. But she was a little nervous this morning, but she knows 5 classmates already so that should help. She will start Kindergarten next year, as her birthday is a day late in the cut-off. But I am happy for this extra year with her. She will only be going 3 days a week this year, and next year it will be 5 days - 8:15 to 3:15---all day! So as much as I know that she is ready for kindergarten, I will still have this extra time with her.

Enjoy the pictures!

Woo hoo! School is in session!

Welcome to the Easterwood Family blog!

So I decided after seeing so many blogs of different families and people who post things about crafts and their family. Why can't I do that? So here is the start of some interesting (i hope) blogs! So here it goes!

Our Summer 2008

This summer we were able to visit San Antonio Sea World. That was such a fun for the 3 of us. Alex loved Sea World and of course wants to train the dolphins. I think we will try to swim with them next time. Alex also was able to visit another part of Texas, the Gulf Coast. Galveston to be exact. Nana & Pops (aka: Karen & Jerry, David's parents) took Alex to Galveston where they played on the beach, swam in the pool at night, and went to Moody Gardens.

Summer has been fun, and so tiring. Alex started swim lessons in the beginning of summer and has done great! She started in Angel Fins (beginners) and now has jumped to Silver Fins! She has really taken to swimming and enjoys it. She will probably also start Ice Skating this fall instead of dance. I am a little worried, ice is hard!

Summer is almost over here in Spring, TX, school starts for us on August 27th. First day of Pre-K, that's what we are calling it because most of Alex's friends are starting Kindergarten this year.
Alex is also turning 5 soon! I can't believe I have a five year old! She definitely keeps me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way.

David is still working for BJ's Restaurants and recently opened a new restaurant in Pearland, TX as an Assitant General Manager. Pearland is about 45-50 minute drive from our house in Spring. He definitely doesn't enjoy the drive, he only drove 15 minutes from his last restaurant for the last 4 years. I keep telling him he was spoiled, in California he would have driven a lot longer. He has been super busy at the new restaurant and away from home a lot, we sure do miss him!

So until the next post.....See ya later!

lots and lots of love,
